Kilt folds

PLEATS

The lovely Scottish garment called a kilt is pleated, but only at the rear.

In the context of a kilt, pleats refer to the folds in the fabric that are sewn into place. Kilts are traditional Scottish garments that are typically made of wool and characterized by a pattern of pleats at the back. The pleats give the kilt its distinctive appearance and allow for freedom of movement.

The pleats in a kilt are usually stitched down from the waistband to a certain point, leaving the lower part unsecured. This allows the kilt to swing and move freely when the wearer walks. The number and style of pleats can vary in different types of kilts, and personal preferences or family traditions might influence the specific design.

In summary, when referring to kilt folds, particularly in the back of the garment, the term used is “pleats.”
